I've been watching this tool for awhile since it emerged about a year or so ago. They have added a lot of accessories to squeeze a few more bucks outta you. The main issue , like Tom says is it's too fast and you an burn a chisel in no time. m To use this tool you need a good grasp of how to sharpen a chisel manually so you will understand about the burning or blueing of the edges, once that edge gets a blue spot on it it's hard to bring it back and most chisels aren't hardened the full length of the tool. So Learn first then play.
